How model-dependent are sparticle mass bounds from CERN LEP

Journal Article Drees, M ; Tata, X - Physical Review, D (Particles Fields); (USA)

In order to translate nonobservation of events of a type not expected in the standard model into bounds on particle masses, one necessarily has to make some specific assumptions. We systematically study the model dependence of the bounds that can be derived from the negative outcome of sparticle and Higgs-boson searches at CERN LEP as well as from the measurement of the total and nonhadronic decay widths of the {ital Z} boson. We also show that the constraints from direct searches taken together with those from the width measurements imply stronger bounds than those obtained using either strategy by itself.more »« less

Naturalness lowers the upper bound on the lightest Higgs boson mass in supersymmetry

Journal Article Anderson, G W ; Castano, D J ; Riotto, A - Physical Review, D

We quantify the extent to which naturalness is lost as experimental lower bounds on the Higgs boson mass increase, and we compute the natural upper bound on the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson mass. We find that it would be unnatural for the mass of the lightest supersymmetric Higgs boson to saturate its maximal upper bound. In the absence of significant fine-tuning, the lightest Higgs boson mass should lie below 120 GeV, and in the most natural cases it should be lighter than 108 GeV. For modest tan{beta}, these bounds are significantly lower. Our results imply that a failure to observemore »« less

Naturalness and superpartner masses or when to give up on weak scale supersymmetry

Journal Article Anderson, G W ; Castano, D J - Physical Review, D

Superpartner masses cannot be arbitrarily heavy if supersymmetric extensions of the standard model explain the stability of the gauge hierarchy. This ancient and hallowed motivation for weak scale supersymmetry is often quoted, yet no reliable determination of this upper limit on superpartner masses exists. In this paper we compute upper bounds on superpartner masses in the minimal supersymmetric model, and we identify which values of the superpartner masses correspond to the most natural explanation of the hierarchy stability. We compare the most natural value of these masses and their upper limits to the physics reach of current and future colliders.more »« less

How to get an upper bound on the Higgs mass

Journal Article Dashen, R ; Neuberger, H - Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)

In view of the almost established triviality of cphi/sup 4/ in four dimensions it is conjectured that the mass of the Higgs particle in the minimal model is bounded by an amount that can be estimated without the knowledge of the physics at shorter distances. A possible numerical experiment which could give a nonperturbative estimate for the bound is proposed.

Upper and lower bounds on weak-intermediate-boson masses

Journal Article Bjorken, J D - Phys. Rev., D; (United States)

Under a rather general class of assumptions, the most important being that weak and electromagnetic interactions are based upon a spontaneously broken gauge theory with an underlying simple gauge group, we estimate bounds on the least massive charged boson. Typical values lie between 55 and 75 GeV, in agreement with those estimated from the Weinberg-Salam SU(2) x U(1) model. Less restrictive bounds are obtained for neutral bosons Z/sup 0/.
